Donovan Bailey (born December 16, 1967) is a retired Canadian sprinter, who once held the world record for the 100 metres race following his gold medal performance in the 1996 Olympic Games. He was the first Canadian to legally break the 10-second barrier in the 100 m.
Franco Cavaleri is one the best-known and most popular of the top echelon of BC bodybuilders (Canada). A holder of an B.Sc. in Nutrition Science, Franco is a technical genius concerning medicinal herbs and their effects on body chemistry and his advice and guidance are avidly sought by BC competitors and non-bodybuilding athletes. His all-natural line of dietary and herbal supplements incorporates traditional bodybuilding dietary science with Asian herbalism and alternative medicine. He won the Middleweight division of the 1992 North American Championships, and he is also the 1990 Western Canada Middleweight and Overall Champion, the 1990 BC Middleweight and Overall Champion, and the 1988 Ironore Classic Middleweight and Overall Champion.
Michael Colgan, PhD, CCN, is a biochemist and physiologist nutritionist who gained recognition through his articles in the bodybuilding magazine Muscular Development and also through his books. In 1972 he started the Colgan Institute in Auckland, New Zealand. Dedicated to Nutrition Science the Colgan Institute has since moved to San Diego, California and Saltspring Island, British Columbia, Canada. According to the Institute's website the Colgan Institute is "...a consulting, educational and research facility concerned with the effects of nutrition on physical performance and on inhibiting the degeneration of aging." Colgan's books cover several areas including nutrition for strength and muscular development, nutrional strategies and methods to slow the aging process, and nutrional methods to prevent disease. ▲ Collapse

Yes. Met two Heads of State, John Malkowich, Pierre Cardin, Patrick Vajsman, Jesse Jackson, David Copperfield, and most recently, Luca Cordero di Montezemolo.
It has been an interesting ride.

| Albert Sabin, Gro Harlem Brundtland | Nov 2, 2010 |
I guess that dates me. Sabin was at a WHO/PAHO conference on vaccines where I was translating and working as an editor.
I also had a really nice conversation with Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, first woman prime minister of Norway, at a cocktail party during a conference at which I was translating. I introduced myself because I am half-Norwegian and she gave me her undivided attention, ignoring the men who were hovering around her to get a word in edgewise.

As a conference translator and precis-writer I met many ambassadors and cabinet ministers. ▲ Collapse

I had quite a lot of interpreting work for a friend who was a journalist at a music magazine or for TV programme (working on subtitles) in Japan, so I had the great fortune of meeting some really great musicians. Anyone from Hall & Oates, David Coverdale, John Deacon of Queen, Kiss, Aerosmith, David Lee Roth, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi - a lot of people to name. They're put on tight schedules when they tour there, so it is literally back-to-back interviews for them so I have to admit I was really q...

They were all very professional & always polite which made the job quite fun.
